A doubly important decision, or choosing pram for twins
A double pregnancy almost always comes as a surprise to parents. It's not hard to guess, then, that the feelings surrounding this news take over for a while. Once the excitement has subsided a bit, moms and dads-to-be are thinking about how to approach preparing a layette and a place for newborns - after all, now every item has to be counted twice! One of the most challenging choices is to buy a stroller. Because now only a few or a dozen models are left from the extensive offer and you have to choose the perfect one among them. How to get started?
Carefully analyze all the technical data of the desired cart
Even single baby vehicles can be really heavy, and in the case of a twin stroller the weight even doubles. Add to that the kids in winter suits, a basket full of groceries, and snow drifts, and you'll never need a gym again. When choosing pram for your kids, therefore, pay attention to whether it is too heavy or too light, as it may be unstable. The models available in our 3Kiwi store weigh as little as 10 kg (pram stroller) to about. 20 kg (2-in-1 vehicle). Such a weight range ensures the safety of toddlers and convenience of travel. No less important is the width and length of the stroller: this matters especially with seats placed side by side, as in Bugaboo Donkey Twin . If you decide to pram, in which the children are one behind the other, get an idea of whether the vehicle you are eyeing turns freely and turns around.
Ensure a comfortable ride by choosing the right wheels
The perfect wheels for every mom will mean something different. The one living in the countryside will appreciate the pumped ones, while the mom from the city, who has only level sidewalks in her area, will rather choose foam wheels. Inflatable casters provide stability on any surface, and good cushioning makes walking pleasant for toddlers. Foam ones, on the other hand, have one distinct advantage - they can't be punctured, and also are much lighter than their predecessors. So if you live in the city on a daily basis, but often travel to visit family in the countryside, pumped wheels will prove to be a better option.
One last point remains: the layout of the chosen vehicle
There are two types of vehicles for twins on the stroller market: those in which the children ride side by side and those in which one toddler travels behind the other. Each solution has its pros and cons, and it all depends on the age and current mood of both children. If they are in a good mood, pram side by side works great, and when they start arguing or taking each other's toys, a "one behind the other" model would be better. But this, too, creates conflicts, as each of the toddlers would like to be first and see the world. An excellent way out of this situation will be a model in which the strollers can be clipped into two sides.
